Let me clarify a little what the symptoms were initially. The Wi-Fi was connected and did not have a no internet warning, but I could not access internet anywhere or from any browser. In cmd prompt, i could ping websites successfully, but could never access them from a browser. In addition, Initially I noticed that while I had the ethernet cable plugged in, Microsoft Security Essentials was able to update successfully, but windows updates could not connect to update or download and still no internet available. The difference now, is the warning sign on the Wi-Fi icon in the task bar and the inability to ping anything from cmd prompt. Thank you for the following steps. I will send the reports when they complete.
